"Steaks out of a test-tube? The animal rights group PETA is putting up a million dollar reward for anyone who by 2012 can grow in-vitro meat that looks and tastes like the real thing.

'In-vitro meat production would use animal stem cells that would be placed in a medium to grow and reproduce. The result would mimic flesh and could be cooked and eaten,' People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said in a statement."

Having lived in Phoenix I can attest to mass delusions but there may be something to this one.

I've been warning you about a hop shortage for at least 6 months. You had to get something from the NY Post to share the story? Thanks, big media, for finally picking this up.

I've got 3 hop rhizomes in the ground right now, and two more on order. I'll be growing my own hops and making my own beer. Sure, I'll have to still buy grains and malt extracts, but hops jumped from $2/oz to almost $6. Considering I usually put about a range of 2-4 oz in a brew, that'll run ya.
